MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER
MAXIMUM CARGO SPACE
Capability is everything in an SUV. Expert mechanical design provides plenty of strength to liven up your journeys. Simply put, it feels great to press down on the accelerator and hear the engine roar to life.
The Audi Q3 uses an available 2.0L 4-cylinder TFSI® engine as the source of its power. It offers a reliable amount of energy to tame as it produces 228 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque. It's a stable drive that will take you where you need to go. How does it compare to the Volvo XC40, though?
When it comes to power, the Volvo XC40 excels. It's a beast when outfitted with the available direct injection turbo-gasoline 4-cylinder engine. With this engine under its hood, the Volvo XC40 roars to life as it generates 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This strength lets you dominate the road in a way the Audi Q3 can't match. For a powerful kick, choose the XC40.
Part of the reason you want an SUV is for its spaciousness. Whether you're loading up your weekly groceries, bargain-hunting finds, or luggage for a vacation, you'll want plenty of room to bring it all along comfortably.
Both the Volvo XC40 and the Audi Q3 have options for your storage needs. When the rear seats are folded down, you'll have more room for your belongings. In direct comparison, it's easy to see which SUV lets you bring more along with you:

The Volvo XC40 takes a commanding lead when it comes to cargo storage with its nearly 10-cubic-foot advantage. You'll have lots of room for your bags, suitcases, and anything else you need to bring along with you.
Plus, the XC40 comes with a standard Power Tailgate, which opens with a push of a button on your key fob, the dashboard, or on the tailgate itself. A similar amenity is available with an upgrade on the Audi Q3.
No one likes to put their drive on hold to pull over at the gas station. Driving a vehicle with great fuel economy means you'll be making less frequent pit stops.
